Advise for keeping NC
| Sun, 11-07-2004 - 4:52pm |
Hi y'all, good news. I've successfully (so far) kept NC and I have no idea how long it's been. Two weeks, three, more? Who knows. One thing that has really helped me endure is to NOT keep track of how long it's been. I was keeping track for a while and I found myself wallowing in my sorrow every time I thought about it. Once I stopped thinking about how many hours, days, weeks it's been I was really able to focus on my friends, family and my daily life in general. I know not all advice works for everyone but I just thought I'd pass that along.
Currently I recognize that I've gone through the hurt and pain, the denial, the anger (on the backside of that one still) and I look forward to the next phase, acceptance.

This is pretty consistnet in my life overall, not just with ending this A. I don't usually count the days since my last drink, but I do know my "sober" date. JMHO. Love, Mo.
